$A$ coil of inductance $1\,H$ and resistance $100\,\Omega$ is connected to a battery of $6\,V$. Determine approximately:
$(a)$ The time elapsed before the current acquires half of its steady-state value.
$(b)$ The energy stored in the magnetic field associated with the coil at an instant $15\,ms$ after the circuit is switched on. (Given $\ln 2 = 0.693$,$e^{-3/2} = 0.25$)

An inductor of inductance $L = 400 \ mH$ and resistors of resistance $R_1 = 2 \ \Omega$ and $R_2 = 2 \ \Omega$ are connected to a battery of emf $E = 12 \ V$ as shown in the figure. The internal resistance of the battery is negligible. The switch $S$ is closed at $t = 0$. The potential drop across $L$ as a function of time is:
